Here we are stuck in the artic

What are we to do

Rough up a makeshift igloo

And lie listening to the north wind blow

As it dances across the brutal ice flow

And what are we to eat

Can we catch a seal

And if we catch it can we skin it

And if we skin it can we cook it

And if we cook it can we eat it

Then we hear the pads of a polar bear

And see it pulling itself up to its regal height

Hungry, nose up to the northern star

Paddy pad pad, pad pad pad pad up to the igloo door

Giving us all a hungry stare

Arg arg arg arg

But are we worried pas du tout

Nous ne somme pas la nous somme ici

Stuck in the jungle our lot is not good

With creepy crawlies, ants and spiders

And slithery slidy things hiding in the wood

Of course high hamocks hung between high trees help

But the requirements of nature torments our sleeping hours with fears

Particularly after an evening of songs and beers

And the mosquito nets (purchased from a well-known discount store) are full of holes

And not up to the job any more that we

Then the hammock ropes drum to the nightly beat

As deadly and ants march in hope of human feast

But are we worried pas du tout

Nous ne somme pas la nous somme ici

Out in the vast silent tracts of space

Where no one can hear you snore

Or scream, and scream one does down time and space

Hush feel the silent empty space

(Whats with it with you over there

While others feel you just snigger

Have you not the emotional capacity to be moved

Carry on and make no mistake I will have you removed)

Alors then silence, silence out here in space

Listen to the silence so deep

But what is that a hiss I can hear

Has our faithful craft sprung a leak

Like the plumbing of a roast beef, expat, mayenne dwelling, B&Q, P&O, BO, BA, anglo

info poster poser would be bricolarger's plumbing after the final tentitive turn of the spanner

The precious oxygen is leaving the craft and our lungs gasp for air

Au revoir XX and XY carbon based units and friends of Tuesday

But are we worried pas du tout

Nous ne somme pas la nous somme ici
